The discipline of design management is in its formative stages, a dynamic era when the precise nature of this organizational resource is being sorted out. In any such process, it is wise to take “snapshots”—images that help us to understand the past and the future. This volume is intended to be one of these snapshots, a contribution to articulating the identity of design management. Authors discuss history and strategies for teaching, share their research, and outline challenges the discipline of design management must confront in the years ahead.
